Chapter 145 The first battle of the beast tide
"Why are there so many!?"
"Ready to fight! Prepare to fight!"
The players exclaimed as they saw a patch of jackals submerging the snow like a tide, but were immediately shouted at by the player leaders in the team to remind them to pick up their weapons.
As the saying goes, "Those who don't know are fearless." The vast majority of players who experienced the winter beast tide in the "Land of Lawlessness" for the first time, although they have heard others vividly describe the horror of the winter beast tide, they themselves lack an intuitive sense of awe and respect for the beast tide.
Be alert.
So when the snow badgers appeared, most people just thought they were novel and interesting, and did not take these furry-looking little animals seriously, or even think that these furry balls were dangerous.
.
But in fact, as you can tell from the name of the Snow Badger, these little things are veritable predators and small beasts!
Players piled snow blocks and melted snow water before pouring. The height of the ice walls they built varied, with an average of about ten meters. They were basically flush with the snow layer outside, and the width could be as wide as seven or eight meters.
Very thick and sturdy.
Moreover, because of the use of snow to lay bricks, a trench four to five meters wide was dug out of the snow outside the ice city wall. In theory, the defense should not be bad.
But the theory is just a theory, because the jackal, running at high speed on the surface of the snow, crossed the four- to five-meter trench with a single swoop, and then used its sharp hooked claws to hang itself on the ice and start climbing up.
Although most of the snow badgers fell into the ditch, or were knocked down by similar ones that rushed up later.
However, there was also thick snow at the bottom of the trench, which made it impossible for them to fall to death. At the same time, the thick and dense fur on their bodies also perfectly protected them.
So much so that when the players saw the group of jackals flying out of the snow like a flood and densely climbing on the ice of the ice city wall, they were stunned. They held weapons in their hands and didn't know how to attack these.
Only a large number of small animals are good.
The players were at a loss as the snow jackals would not be polite to them. As soon as they scaled the ice wall, they immediately pounced ferociously on the defending players, using their sharp claws and sharp teeth to scratch and bite fiercely.
The flesh and blood of players.
When those little claws scratch the body, there will be four deep blood grooves. When they bite the body, there will be several deep blood holes, and even a piece of flesh will be torn off alive.
For a moment, there were screams and angry shouts on the ice city wall, and everything became a mess.
This is thanks to the cold weather, and most players wear several layers of thick animal fur to keep out the cold.
This played a certain defensive role. Most of the injuries were to the exposed hands and faces, or to the arms, legs, and feet with weak defenses. The injuries were not too serious, and no one died. At most, there were some unlucky ones who were slow to react.
The ghost was just scratched blind.
This also allowed the players to experience the cruelty of the winter beast tide in the "Lawless Land" for the first time, and they began to try to fight back with difficulty.
However, neither crossbows nor swords can do much damage to these thick-haired little things. At most, they can be knocked away or injured.
Screams, wails, angry shouts, and the angry barking of jackals and badgers mingled together, and the two sides immediately fell into the most brutal melee as soon as they engaged.
"Don't panic! Line up!"
The roaring chief beat and kicked several badgers that jumped on him to death.
He loudly reminded his companions to unite and not fight alone, but unfortunately it didn't have a good effect.
At this moment, the player reinforcements that poured out of the Bone Castle after receiving the news finally arrived. The player leaders shouted: "Go up the city wall! Go up the city wall!" However, there were still many players who couldn't help but attack.
Those snowy badgers took advantage of the chaos and swarmed into the city, causing chaos.
Suddenly, arrows struck like a hail of arrows, quickly clearing away the badgers around the chief and the others.
The chief and the flower snake, who had no time to care about other people, took a moment to look back, but it was Hussele and Gan Doufu who were "retreating" in the main castle, arriving with members of the Fierce Knights.
The chief was overjoyed and limped toward them.
There was nothing he could do, a few badgers just took advantage of him and crawled up his thighs.
I also bit him a few times in a place that was hard to tell, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. The injury was not serious, but the psychological impact was too great. The thief was so scary.
A group of ferocious wild boars wearing heavy armor danced tap dance in the open space behind the ice city wall, while the ferocious knights used hand crossbows for long-range attacks to quickly clear out the large group of badgers running around on the ground.
With the weight of ferocious wild boars, a badger, which is not much bigger than a domestic cat, will turn into a piece of badger skin with a squeaking sound like a fish bubble if stepped on by them.
But the huge and ferocious wild boar has no good way to deal with these little guys who move like lightning.
There were even many ferocious wild boars that were rushed under their bellies, and the badgers that specifically attacked their lower body attacked their vital points and ran around screaming.
No matter how defensive the heavy steel armor is, it can't cover the belly and convenience of the ferocious wild boars. They can't take off their pants... I don't know how many male ferocious wild boars have been lost since this battle.
The right to reproduce.
Compared with the ferocious wild boars that just come out to join in the fun, Hussere riding on Wangcai's back seems to be the main force in clearing out the badgers in the snow.
Shooting five times in one second, with one bow and five arrows, he turned into a mobile fort. As Wangcai moved, he sprayed arrows wildly, nailing the badgers to the ground one after another.
You don't even need to aim too hard. Houssere's archery skills are already vaguely reaching the advanced stage. The speed of clearing one person is even comparable to hundreds of ordinary players. This also makes him usually not pay much attention to long-range attacks and feels that the lethality of bows and arrows is limited.
The players realized for the first time the power of an archer!
But the reason why the "beast tide" is terrifying lies in its size and number. No matter how ferocious Hussere is, how many can he kill?
Even if the players tried their best to resist, a flood of snowy badgers still poured into the "ice and snow community" built by the players, and even rushed into the scope of the Skeleton Castle. The city walls and various defenses were very difficult for these giants.
For such a small beast, it is completely undefended.
Husserey, who had been shooting angrily for a while, realized that it was of no use at all, so he suddenly stopped.
After taking a deep breath, he took out an arrow, aimed it at the place where the jackals and badgers were gathered, and suddenly shot out!
The dry tofu sitting behind him was still wondering. Multiple rapid fires had no good blocking effect on these hordes of little things. How could one arrow do it?
